Tariffs Aren’t the Greatest for Harley, Whirlpool, Dozens More

Whirlpool Sinks With Raw Material Costs Climbing Around the World
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-07-23/whirlpool-sinks-as-raw-material-costs-climb-around-the-world

As the Trump administration’s global trade war heats up, Whirlpool Corp. is feeling the burn.
The maker of home appliances said rising raw material costs hurt results in three out of four of its regional markets in the second quarter, including North America, Asia and its struggling Europe, Middle East and Africa division. The only region where it didn’t cite input-cost inflation was in Latin America, which faced its own problems in the second quarter, including a Brazilian trucker strike.

“Our annual steel contracts and hedging contracts with our base metals give us some protection but do not insulate us from these more material trends,” Chief Executive Officer Marc Robert Bitzer said on a Tuesday morning conference call.
The company cited steel and resin costs as particular concerns in the second quarter. President Donald Trump in March placed a 25 percent tariff on imports of steel and a 10 percent tariff on aluminum imports from most countries. The U.S. allowed some exemptions for South Korea, Brazil, Australia and Argentina. After initially exempting Canada, Mexico and the E.U., Trump extended the Section 232 tariffs in June to include those key trade allies.

Harley Now Feels the Pinch From Trade War
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-06-25/harley-davidson-to-shift-motorbike-production-to-counter-tariffs

Citing tariffs tied to escalating tension between Trump and the European Union, the iconic motorcycle maker will further retrench its U.S. operations. Bikes destined for the EU were made less viable by levies that’ll boost costs for the company by about $100 million a year.
Already, Harley had announced plans to close a factory in Missouri and build one in Thailand, after Trump pulled the U.S. out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the free-trade agreement with a bloc of Asian countries that would have lowered barriers to key markets. Now, Harley joins iconic American companies including Levi Strauss & Co. and even Germany’s Daimler AG in getting caught in the middle of Trump’s trade skirmishes with major trading partners.

He wants to bailout farmers now because they will feel the burnt of his useless trade war..I guess we have all forgotten how they lambasted Obama over the Auto Bailout?The farmers are even saying they simply want to sell their stuff and not a Bailout.. And we know the GOP is against hand outs. Sorry farmers you’ll just have to suffer out the tariffs YOU VOTED FOR.

Btw,The GOP thought is if you can't make ends meet at your job then you should just either work harder and get another job or be smart enough not to go into a type a work that doesn't pay the bills. What's the difference now?

Awon Oloshi..

"A mass defection at the Senate on Tuesday has enthroned the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to majority control at the upper chamber of the National Assembly.

After the 2015 election, the All Progressives Congress (APC) ended the reign of PDP as the ruling party for the first time since 1999.

APC had 63 members in the Senate to become the majority, while PDP had 43.

However, Tuesday's action has turned the table in the Senate, with APC now the opposition while PDP is now the majority party.

The latest defection saw bigwigs in the Senate such as Dino Melaye, Rabiu Kwankwaso, Lanre Tejuosho, Abdulazeez Nyako and Monsurat Sunmonu cross to the PDP.

Presently, PDP leads the Senate with 58 members while APC has 48.

Senator Victor Umeh remains the only member of All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) in the floor of the Senate.

Similarly, at the lower chamber, 33 APC members defected to PDP while four others defected to ADC. However, APC still maintains the majority in both the lower chamber, and the National Assembly as a whole.

This could change soon, though, if the defectors' claim that more defections are underway is something more than a mere threat.

For now, this is what the Senate looks like:



PDP APC APGA VACANT

"The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Prince Uche Secondus, says President MuhammaduBuhari is using the state security agencies to victimize the leadership of the National Assembly.

In a statement released on Tuesday following the siege to the residences of Senate President Bukola Saraki and his deputy, Ike Ekweremadu, Secondus said the actions of the APC-led Federal Government is dangerous to democracy.

He condemned the President for allowing such behaviour under his watch, accusing him of operating a totalitarian government.

He said: “The APC government led by President Muhammadu Buhari is using state security apparatus like the Nigerian Army, Department of State Services and the Nigerian Police to attack the National Assembly with the aim of forcibly overthrowing its leadership and rendering the third arm of government comatose.

“The Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki; his deputy, Ike Ekweremadu and other distinguished senators are have been under severe assault from security agencies.

“It is now a known fact that democracy has now collapsed in Nigeria and we are now under a totalitarian and fascist government with no appetite for the opposition.

“We hereby call on all Nigerians home and abroad to immediately speak up against this act of gross violation of the constitution of Nigerian and the attempt disruption of the democratic process and institutions by President Muhammadu Buhari and privatised members of the Nigerian security agencies.”

He also called on all Nigerians, traditional rulers in Nigeria and the international community to caution the President."

Beautyaddy:
Lol!!...Yes and No.

One of the benefits and Most Impotant benefits of being a U.S. Citizen is that you Have to PAY TAXES to the U.S. government and at the same time you get to enjoy all those benefits your taxes have paid into...and nothing else.

Medical care and services in the U.S. is not free but is being paid by U.S. residents tax payers or private insurance.

Foreigners that are having babies in the U.S. are doing it because they want their kids to have the U.S passport in order to avoid applying for visas to most first world countries and also so that when their kids get older and then have to attend college they will not have to pay the international fees to attend any public university in the state they reside.

And yes, when the kids do grow above 21 years of age they might be able to file for their parents if their parents are still alive at that time.

Okay thank you

MamaOO:
The child has to qualify for Medicare through his:her parent or guardian. That’s the way it works. The child doesn’t have any income and the parents do not make any income in the US which taxes them into the system. So no, they’re not qualified. That they paid thousands of dollars to birth was a choice. They chose to do that. The thousands of dollars the parents paid was payment for services rendered.....aka healthcare and childbirth. We also pay for childbirth depending on if you have insurance or not, what kind of insurance you have, your insurance deductible, co-pay and all that. Those bills cold run you about $3000-$4000. This is despite the insurance premiums paid monthly. You also have to pay your OB too o. Most insurance cover 90% of your costs. You’re responsible for the remaining 10%.

And yes, if the child decides to come to the US later in life to go to college, they will probably not qualify for financial aid. Student loans yes, financial aid no. Why? Financial aid is need based. You have to submit your parents (both parents) paystubs and other supporting documents to qualify for financial aid. Once they see that your parents make money outside the shores of the country and do not pay tax or reside here, no financial aid. Student loan, yes you can and will qualify for that. They only need a social security number. It’s a loan and you have to pay it back with interest after you graduate. Financial aid doesn’t need to be paid back.

The only other alternative is for parents to pay out of pocket. To save the kids from student loans cos student loan is an headache. Even at that, for the first one or two years, the child will pay out of state fees for any college he/she is going to because they don’t reside in the US. They just came back from college. Most people find ways to become state residents after the second year I believe. Sadly, there’s lots of loopholes around.

Okay thank you

Wait ohh..Child is American..Child is over 3years old if i am correct by what the poster said..He is in need of urgent medical care that is too expensive for the mum who is non-american to pay and she is considering to go for the option of medicaid that is available to all americans

Note--This is not for the baby she is in the US to birth,but the one that has been previously born who is a Full-Fledged American..She has already paid lots of thousands of dollars in the US due to birthing the child the first time

Now are you trying to tell me the child cannot ask for any government subsidy program because his or her parents do not live nor pay tax in the US?Education/Medicare etc..If his or her parents cannot ask for government program for a child who is american even though he does not live in the States,that means the citizenship is useless be that..

Tinubu’s Cousin Isiaka Oyetola Emerges APC Governorship Candidate In Osun


"Isiaka Gboyega Oyetola, the Chief of Staff to Governor Of Osun State, Rauf Aregbesola, has emerged the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the September 22 governorship election in the south-western state.

Oyetola, who is also the cousin of Bola Tinubu, National Leader of the party, emerged winner of the party’s first-ever direct primary by polling 127, 017 votes to beat Yusuff Lasun, Deputy Speaker of the House of representatives, who recorded 21, 975 votes to place a distant second.

Najeem Salam, Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly, occupied third place with 17, 958 votes.

Before the start of Friday’s primary, Moshood Adeoti, Secretary to the Osun State Government, had accused the party of manipulating the exercise, saying a lot of things were done to render it a mere endorsement Oyetola.

“The primary was arranged, skewed and designed to favour Alhaji Isiaka Gboyega Otedola, the cousin of the National Leader of our party, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” Adeoti’s campaign organisation said in a statement.

He alleged that there was no credible register of members with which a free, fair and transparent direct primary could be conducted, but only a “cooked-up register comprising handpicked persons loyal to the emergence of Oyetola, printed in a firm owned by Oyetola in Lagos”.

Before Friday, 12 of the 17 aspirants had criticised kicked against the directive of the APC National Working Committee (NWC) for the election to hold via direct means, which meant every card-carrying member of the party could vote. However, the 12 maintained that the party had no comprehensive register of APC members across Osun State.

A second aspirant and current senator, Babajide Omoworare, withdrew not long after, but without acrimony. Omowoware, who represents Osun East at the Senate, said he stood down in the party’s interest.

“This development is with the ultimate view of ensuring party cohesion and for All Progressives Congress to secure victory at the September 22nd governorship election in the state,” Tunde Dairo, his Director of Communications, told SaharaReporters."

"How I miss Barack Obama.

And I say that as someone who worked to defeat him: I was a foreign policy adviser to John McCain in 2008 and to Mitt Romney in 2012. I criticized Obama’s “lead from behind” foreign policy that resulted in a premature pullout from Iraq and a failure to stop the slaughter in Syria. I thought he was too weak on Iran and too tough on Israel. I feared that Obamacare would be too costly. I fumed that he was too professorial and too indecisive. I was left cold by his arrogance and his cult of personality.

Now I would take Obama back in a nanosecond. His presidency appears to be a lost golden age when reason and morality reigned. All of his faults, real as they were, fade into insignificance compared with the crippling defects of his successor. And his strengths — seriousness, dignity, intellect, probity, dedication to ideals larger than self — shine all the more clearly in retrospect.

Those thoughts are prompted by watching Obama’s speech in South Africa on the 100th anniversary of Nelson Mandela’s birth. I was moved nearly to tears by his eloquent defense of a liberal world order that President Trump appears bent on destroying.

The first thing that struck me was what was missing: There was no self-praise and no name-calling. Obama has a far better claim than Trump to being a “very stable genius,” but he didn’t call himself one. The sentences were complete and sonorous — and probably written by the speaker himself. (Imagine Trump writing anything longer than a tweet — and even those are full of mistakes.) The tone was sober and high-minded, even if listeners could read between the lines a withering critique of Trump’s policies.

Obama denounced the “politics of fear and resentment,” the spread of “hatred and paranoia and propaganda and conspiracy theories,” and “immigration policies based on race, or ethnicity, or religion.” Gee, wonder who he had in mind? He rightly noted that “we now stand at a crossroads — a moment in time at which two very different visions of humanity’s future compete for the hearts and minds of citizens around the world.” He then rejected the dark vision propagated by Trump and the dictators he so admires.

“I believe in Nelson Mandela’s vision,” Obama said. “I believe in a vision shared by Gandhi and King and Abraham Lincoln. I believe in a vision of equality and justice and freedom and multiracial democracy, built on the premise that all people are created equal, and they’re endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights. And I believe that a world governed by such principles is possible and that it can achieve more peace and more cooperation in pursuit of a common good.” Even though I was thousands of miles away, I felt like cheering those stirring words.

No, I haven’t forgotten the shortcomings of Obama’s administration, but I’ve gained a new perspective on them.

Can you believe that an Obama-era scandal was that the president wore a tan suit or put his feet up on the desk? (Actual Washington Times headline from Sept. 4, 2013: “Obama’s foot on Oval Office desk sends shockwaves around the world.”) Oh, to have those days back again — before we had a president who was involved in indecent relationships with a Russian despot and (allegedly) a porn star.

What was supposedly the worst abuse of power committed by the Obama administration — the IRS investigations of conservative organizations — has been revealed as “fake news”: It turns out that the IRS was also investigating liberal organizations. By contrast, evidence continues to accumulate about Trump scandals, from alleged campaign collusion with Russia to violations of the emoluments clause. Obama may have told a few fibs, like any politician, but he was not a pathological liar.

Conservatives accused Obama of hating America and going on an “apology tour.” Obama never claimed, however, that poor relations with Russia were the fault of “U.S. foolishness and stupidity” rather than Russian wrongdoing. Obama may have been naive in trying to “reset” relations with Moscow, but he did not say that Russian President Vladimir Putin is a “fine” person — and he did not endorse the Russian’s lies over the truths unearthed by the U.S. intelligence community. The Iran nuclear deal was flawed, but it was infinitely stronger than the non-agreement Trump reached with North Korea. Obama even looks like a fiscal conservative compared with Trump, who is ushering in trillion-dollar deficits.

It can be depressing to think about our current predicament under a president whose loyalty to America is suspect but whose racism and xenophobia are undoubted. However, Obama’s speech gave me a glimmer of optimism — and not only because he cited Mandela’s “example of persistence and of hope.” He reminds me that just 18 months ago — can you believe it was so recently? — we had a president with whom I could disagree without ever doubting his fitness to lead. We can have one again"

Picker Aiyeeee...

Samuel Ortom, Governor of Benue State, has backed down on his previous claims that he had left the All Progressives Congress (APC) and was open to joining another party.

On Monday, Ortom announced his defection from the APC, saying he had been red-carded out of the ruling party and was now standing outside the football pitch “as a free man”.

“As for party, I have been given red card and I’m outside the pitch. So, if I have been given red card and I’m standing outside, I’m a free man,” he had said.

“So I don’t know what will happen next but I’m waiting. If others approach me, then I will tell the Benue people that I’m joining another football club. I’m a child of destiny and it’s only God that will decide what I will be.”

However, after meeting with Adams Oshiomhole, National Chairman of the APC, on Thursday, Ortom sang a different tune.

“I am here in APC, a member of APC; I’m still flying the flag of APC and I only said I was given a red card,” he said this time.

“But the leadership of the party told me that the decision of the party leadership at the national level is superior to any individual’s, and I think this is good enough. We have spoken to him, he has spoken to me; stakeholders are going to be spoken to and that is where I belong.

“We have not concluded the matter, it is an ongoing process because I have always stood for peace and I always want peace to prevail. I appreciate the intervention and I hope that we would be able to resolve the matter of differences and this is the funny thing about politics.”

Ortom was one of the APC governors who met with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) camp on Wednesday ahead of a defection that is expected to happen next week.
